At first I was reluctant to see the C&DP Annual isn't being written by Nicieza, or Nicieza/Brown... But well, it's good other writers give a shoot to it, isn't it? Walker wrote part of the last Deadpool #13 (the Luke Cage and Iron Fist section, in the dump). I'm intrigued for the "host of stellar artists" part, though. How will that play out?

Klein is killing it! And Bagley's covers are really good, too.

To end this looong post, Cullen Bunn said on Twiiter that "Assassin" would be his last DP project in the foreseeable future. Glad to see it's going to be on a -what looks like- street-level story.
